From Old to New!!!

So I found the idea to take my old plain t-shirts that I don't really like to wear and make them into something I do like to wear on http://elizabethkartchner.blogspot.com/2010/04/diy-fabric-ruffle-tee.html. Lizzy used a new shirt and the same color ruffles but I just used what I had so I didn't even have to spend a penny! It turned out way cute!

I first started by taking a plain t-shirt and some fabric from a tank top I don't wear. I then cut about 1 inch strips from the tank top (I used 6).

I then places the pieces where I wanted them, ruffled them, and pinned.
Then I just sewed down the middle of the ruffles taking out the pins right before I sewed the ruffle in place.
I did six rows and it turned out great!
It's like a whole new shirt!
So I decided to wear it today!

I'm making some more cool things so I'll be posting about those soon too! I love crafts!

Hike


A couple weekends ago Nick and I went on a hike. Nick found a website of cool places in Utah and Battle Creek Falls was one of them so we tried it out. Here is a glimpse of the beauty.

A New Addition to our Home


The other weekend Nick and I went to the piano store just to look at pianos for fun and found out there were Yamaha pianos at Costco for a discount price. We headed over and decided to get one! We got a digital piano recorded off a grand piano. Nick has really enjoyed playing and practices everyday. I love to listen to him! I haven't really played since the 8th grade so I'm trying to pick it up again. Nick suggested that we have a little recital with friends to make sure we practice and learn new pieces. It is great having a piano in our home!
